Any idea if Shivers and Shivers II will be added to game list? Would be insta buy for me!

I don´t know but it shivers me timbers.

You should add your vote to it on the community wishlist in the meantime if you haven´t done so yet.

I loved Shivers, especially the Rod Serling-esqe tour guide.

I played through Shivers 2 quite a few times. Wasn't a bad game at all, of course I'm very intrigued by dark, abstract storylines.

Man... that was more than a decade and a half ago. Back when I was playing Return To Krondor! o.O
And Caesar 3! O.O

And Command & Conquer when it was sill developed by Westwood Studios!

Now this game looks interesting! It reminds me of Entombed.

I think Shivers would have been better if it had been a straight adventure without the 'ghosts pop up to hurt you and be a dick' mechanic, kind of ruined it for me, that and the fact that it's not one of the most navigable Myst-likes ever...

What? That was the best part! O_o
Also, you learn to predict them, while discovering the story.
I would, instead, have liked less static hard puzzles and more mystery puzzles (like p&c adventures).

I've never played the sequel, instead. How is it, compared to the first?

This game would be perfect for Halloween! I want to play the sequel too, as I never have. I wonder if they can't get the rights to it?

Well, it wasn't quite the same and I kind of felt let down about it, though not a completely bad game. They didn't do the jump-out ghosts again which I felt were kind of cartoonish and also didn't flow with the background graphics.

It did have a nice creepy feel to it: an entire town missing all its residents as you search for clues to what had transpired. They replaced the ambient music with more electric guitar/rock music-- again, something I wasn't happy about. But, they added some Quicktime Events to it mostly at the end. I remember at the end this became a nuisance having to switch between the 2 discs too frequently somewhat breaking the pacing.

As for puzzles, they remained mostly true to the original. Logic puzzles, etc. For example, each house had a puzzle to enter (rather than a normal house key--strange town, and strange residents!) A whole section was devoted to tangram puzzles--not my thing--oh, and I think they were timed, too.

To be fair, there were some p&c mystery puzzles such as finding codes and clues that open locked drawers or using inventory items to repair/cut/solve/move/etc. a problem and progress the story.

I preferred the first Shivers due to the creepy ambiance thanks to both music and graphics, as well as the humor. The premise of being trapped in an abandoned, dark museum devoted to dark legends & myths in which inside held some not-so-nice occurrences really grabbed my attention. Especially since I played this one late at night in a basement. It was the kind of game where clicking to go around a corner made you brace for what you might see next (expecting the worst).

The second installment seemed to tone this anxiety down a bit and didn't really reach my expectations even though the story wasn't too bad.

Ah too bad. Thanks for the info, anyway.

I so want to replay shivers 1 - 2 please come to gog

It's also a great movie.

I'm more partial to Tremors :D
